   Number 1: Jill Simonian: Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson | The Book Club | PragerU

   What can a classic pirate adventure teach today’s kids about courage, resilience, and growing up? In this episode of The Book Club, Michael Knowles is joined by PragerU Kids’ Jill Simonian to discuss Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. Together, they explore Jim Hawkins’ dangerous journey from a sheltered boy to a courageous young man and what his adventures teach about virtue, loyalty, greed, risk, and the consequences of our choices. In an age when children are increasingly sheltered from danger and failure, Treasure Island offers a very different vision of growing up: face reality, develop discernment, stay resilient, and never give up. ▶️ Watch more episodes of The Book Club at: ⁠⁠https://l.prageru.com/4tVOtTH⁠⁠ ⭐ Enjoyed this episode?

   Number 3: Rich Zeoli: Animal Farm by George Orwell | The Book Club | PragerU

   Number 4: Viva Frei: The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway

   Is the pursuit of a dream worth it, even if it’s torn apart in the end? In The Old Man and the Sea, Ernest Hemingway tells the story of Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman determined to break a long streak of bad luck. Venturing far into the open sea, he hooks the catch of a lifetime—but as he battles to bring it home, he watches it slowly devoured by sharks. Michael Knowles is joined by popular Canadian podcaster Viva Frei to explore the deeper meaning behind Hemingway’s classic—its Christian symbolism, themes of suffering and redemption, and how even in defeat, the human spirit can triumph.
